Implementation of LMS-CIDOS in Polytechnic English language classroom: issues and challenges
Mahanim Hasnan1, Mohaida Mohin2.
The wide implementation of the Learning Management System (LMS) in many Higher
Education Institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia is seen as strong support for eLearning. Many LMS have
been developed and adopted based on their features, usability and functionality that can offer benefits
for the whole faculty of the institution. In Malaysia’s Polytechnic, LMS-CIDOS is a platform used for
eLearning. A blended learning platform has become a need for many lecturers. This study investigated
the perception of English Language lecturers in utilising the platform to implement eLearning in
language classroom teaching. This study explored the issues and challenges in implementing the
blended learning concept in Muadzam Shah Polytechnic. The lecturers’ perceptions in this study were
measured using the Instructors LMS Acceptance Model proposed by Kamla and Hafedh (2010), which
was modified from the original Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis (1989). Seven
experienced English Language Lecturers were also interviewed using the semi-structured interview
approach. Among the themes that emerged through the thematic analysis was the reliability of hardware,
software & internet connection, design and content organisation, temporary record-keeping, complex
system structure, inadequate time and work management, insufficient training and support from the
institution, the need for teaching guide from the expert, lack of skills to encourage active communication
using LMS-CIDOS and students’ lack of digital literacy skills. The findings of this study offer an
expanded understanding of LMS acceptance among higher education instructors and a reference for
related areas of study.
